How do jellies eat?
Typical jellyfish have stinging tentacles that trail from the edge of their bell. As jellies float through the ocean they use these tentacles to snag their prey. After the food is caught and immobilized by the stinging cells, it can be passed to the mouth of the jellyfish. The mouth is located in the very center of the underside of the bell. Once in the mouth, the food is digested in the stomach (or stomachs) of the jellyfish. Because of their mostly transparent bodies it’s easy to see what a jellyfish has recently eaten.
